So are the ones I have blooming the black oil seeds rather than the mammoth? Can you tell by the heads.

The mammoth are from 5-7 ft tall (at least) & so far on mine--you can see where heads are making but only 1 is actually flowering as of yet. I will go back in the first Thread & re-wriote when we planted so we can refer to it. I will take new photos of mine tomorrow..I figure I will do so every once a week. he first flowering head of my Black oil sunflowers is bigger--I measured it back in the day I will measure it again tomorrow, to see how it grew. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....

I am thinking that is how they grow. ??? and now that I think of it--- I only have 1 mammoth flower head as of yet, and it is getting larger. the others show promise but have not shown any flowers yet.

I planted enough potatoes to get us thru until january most years. The only thing I put up in jars was jelly. otherwise I froze what others would can. As an example I would take a 15 oz can of tomatoes wash out the can & squish it full of tomatoes so I would have a premeasured amount in each container & put up my things that way.

The yards around us are higher than ours is by a LOT & When my DH mentioned it to the neighbor, his exact exact words were, "yea, I don't know what he did with that dirt" See their wives are related so he likley knows just what happened. As a result we have a mini-swamp in our back yard when it rains, & since we got 2+ inches last night, it is really bad out back. That is why I have a raised garden. When I can I think I will cut down the tallest one & measure it that way. The heads are all drooping now anyway.

The longest one was 10 ft to the bottom of the seed head. So unless one of my 3 standing yet are taller or barb has a taller one, Sheri is in the lead with 10 ft 11 inches. I will not measure the 3 left until DH cuts them down. The stalks are too thick for me to manage with my pruner. As it was, I had to leave the one I did manage to bring down in the garden because the root ball was taking about a gallon of dirt with it--and I would not like that happening. off to take a shower now---it is only 75 out but I am wringing wet. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
